MGS2
Elegant single-cutaway electric with a minimalist take on a classic silhouette and a familiar 25.5" scale.
About this guitar
The MGS2 was Millimetric’s third six-string design: a symmetrical, single-cutaway body that nods to classic guitar shapes in a stripped-down, minimalist form. The deep cutaway and shaped neck heel give comfortable upper-fret access. At 25.5” scale it plays familiar to guitarists used to classic California-style bolt-neck guitars, despite the modern look. Construction follows the Millimetric formula: technically bolt-on but built to feel like a neck-through, in-house hardware and pickups, and a choice of Canadian wood and eco-friendly finish.
